How "a Settlement May lie Arrived

Mr.. Robert II. WhitlOck, a well
known and successful businessman o.
this city, has for months past given care
ful study to the debt question, hoping
10 reach solution satisfactory alike u
tie debtor and creditor. He has given
close attention to the stenOgraphic re-
port Of the proceedings OF the confer
ence between the Legislative committee
and Mefsrs. Thornton and Braithwaite,
and he believes that he has found a path
ont of the forest of difficulties, and
states the case as follows
RICHMOND, Va, July 26, 1887.
To the Pu6lic, and Specially the Dcle-
0atcs to the COnrentiOn at Roanoke ::
Gentlemen,-I have been studying
the possibilities of settling the debt
under the present rate of taxation. /
have been carefully examining the dis
cussions Of the Joint committee and tue
committee representing the Council OF
Foreign Bondholders. j have formu-
lated two plans for the accomplishmeu
of so desirable an end. and have submit
tea bOtn 10 Tue CIiiiclouiS VI VIC oOIohd
Auditor, Colonel Craig. OF the First
Auditors Office, and Major Ryland, OF
the Second Auditors Office, who
very kindly and courteously exam
ined them and gave their opinions
that the revenues OF the Commonwealth
would not justify so large an annual
sum without encroachment on some
vital interest which would not be en-
dorscd by the people. l have there
fore advanced on the clemency and in
telligence of the Council of Foreign
Bondholders to such point as | think
will be accepted by them when salts
fed that this is our ultimatum, and |
herewith give You my conclusion, which
is my third and last plan of what l
think can be done-viz. The consol
debt Of 1871 can be settled at IS
cents on the dollar, and - per
cent. interest tax-receiyatle coupon
bond at forty-tive years from
July !, 1887. The ten-fory debt
can be settled at 63 cents on the dollar
and 3 per cent. interest-same kind o;
bond. The overdue coupons can b,
settled at 80 cents on the dollar, 3I p ,r
cent. annual intercst-similar bon |.

Dear Sir,-I will be under many OBJ

loving information About how many
colorod people are in your city? What
is their financial condition generally
Have they much business. civic OF

much for IN early reply. Most re-
spcctfully yours, JOINS ". HARGo.
Mayor Cmrington replied that there
are about $4,000 colored people here ;
dat their general financial condition
is not good, but some have acquired
wealth, and that lie thinks there is
room here for n colorcd lawyer who

Eli other Indebtedness can be funded
under the Riddlebergeract. This would
be Sll9. $50 annual interest less than
the committee representingthe Council
Of Foreign Bondholders offered to take,
and $o7, 15l more annual interest
than our joint committee offered.
Will the Council of Foreign Bond
holders accept this? Yes, think so,
if new bond with a tax-receivnble
coupon is given them. Our annual
interest would be SS0i,272 and the
total principal S24, zoe, ,33l after exclud-
ing that portion o. the new 3 per cent.
bonds held by the Sinking Fund and
Board of Public Works, which was
agreed to be cancelled. and excepting
such old bonds with interest thereon
as are held by the United States. This
calculation. however, reserves Us assets
which were supposed to be worth cash
$500, GOO, and possibly the State might
raise s7J0,000. In this event she could
purchase S1,5OO,000 in coupons,
thereby reducing the principal to
500, $50, ,331 and the annual interest to
s77S,622.
Now the correct amount OF the Rid
dlcberger bill would be, If the whole
debt had at first been funded under it,
S23, ,NS, ,S24, at 3 per cent. annual in
terest-SG9l,4 ,4C4. But the Riddleber-
ger bill dates July /, 1882. and the
State has only paid in round numbers,
at guess. say, about $3.50, 900 interest,
all told, under this bill therefore if
The back interest were now charged up
ST. would owe the bondholders under
that act about s26, ,000,0 900 principal as
of July I, 1887, the interest of which
at per cent. would be $4,000,
whereas under this settlement | pro-
pose We would only owe S23, $50, 1891 Of
principal and S77S,622 of annual in
terest.
assure you, gentlemen, in all OF my
Investigations have had at heart spe-
cially the interests Of our farmers, who
are the majority class of our citizens
and appear 10 have the hardest time. |
have every desire to aid this class and
believe a settlement Of this debt upon
this basis will he a commencement OF
their prosperity. and earnestly beg their
especial consideration of the above.
Respectfully, Il. II. WHrLocE.
p. ST propose that the State shall
settle with the foreign bondholders for
the consol, ten-forty, and overdue cou-
pom debt only; that a syndicate be
formed in Virginia TO fund the residue
Of the debt.
